Karen's CS1300 Blog


Hi!
My name is Karen Artola and I am from El Salvador. Even though I moved to Houston only two years ago, I miss my country and my culture. Many people don't know where El Salvador is (it's in Central America) and it's a wonderful place with beautiful mountains and surf beaches.

On my free time, I like to watch movies, listen to music and I also learn about different cultures. I don't play any sports because I've had too many bad experiences, but I like soccer, hockey, and baseball.

During my time in Trinity, I want to get involved in religious, international and volunteering organizations. One of the things that I like most about Trinity is the study abroad program. I can speak three languages -Spanish, English, and Italian- and I am currently learning Chinese. On my sophomore year, I am planning to study abroad in Italy or China.

About my knowledge in computers, I took a computer class for two years in high school, but I forgot most of the material covered because I didn't practice what I learned. I hope that in this course I can learn the necessary skills to write my papers for my other courses and that I will gain knowledge that I will not forget easily.
